Advent Candle Prayer (PEACE)
Reading Isaiah 35:1-10
God of Peace, in our world of turmoil we look to you for peace. We look to the One You have promised as Prince of Peace,* and we trust that He will be your Agent to create peace in our world of conflict and hatred.
Let the promised and enduring peace of Jesus overcome our many anxieties.^ Fill us with your peace that passes understanding.# Enable us to learn the reconciling ways of Jesus so that we may bring your peace to relationships that are fractured by anger, competition, prejudice, greed and jealousy.+ Because of your promises, we await with hope the day when your unending peace will fill the earth.** Amen.
*Isaiah 9:6; ^John 14:27; #Philippians 4:7; + Matthew 5:9; **Isaiah 9:7
